I'm ready to pull the trigger on a set of 19" Fuchs wheels for my Meteor Gray 997.2 C2S Cab. She is my daily driver with 20,000 miles and I plan on keeping her until they outlaw petrol - or until I find a 2012 silver C4S.

My Porsche dealer in Portland, Oregon (we don't all ride bikes and smoke weed here) quoted me ~ $6,500 for a set of factory wheels and tires, which seems very reasonable to me. That being said...

- Does anyone have any recent price points for real Fuchs wheels?
- Do I have any options or am I stuck buying from the dealer?
- Is there anything I need to be aware of when I upgrade (I'm not worried about size as I already have 19" Carrera S wheels).
- Thoughts, inputs, comments and/or suggestions welcome.

Hello,
When I was wheel shopping I got this price quote for my 997.1 C2S

- 8x18 ET 52 (8,20 Kg): 545,- Euro

- 10x18" ET 65 (8,80 Kg): 589,- Euro

- 8,5x19" ET 56 (10,50 Kg): 799,- Euro

- 11x19" ET 51 (11,50 Kg): 839,- Euro

Those are pretty aggressive offsets for the 19 rear. Anyway based on the conversion today a set of 4 19 inch Fuchs are about $4000 here in Germany.

Hope this helps
Cheers
Lance

That is pretty much the going rate for those wheels. Suncoast has them for $5,595 which is about 1K less than what your dealer quoted you.

I know you're looking for OEM Fuchs, but I always kinda dug Rotiform's retake on them...

Either way, awesome wheel!

^ anything like this for a '12 GTS with centerlocks?

At those prices, why not order the "real thing"?

The $4k is for the original real deal.. I agree though they are pretty pricey.

SII wheels are lighter but Fuchs look cool/retro. Need clear side lights😀

BrakingBad

Not pointing you out specifically, several have called them Fuchs, but Porsche is careful not to call their wheels Fuchs. They are "Sport Classics". Real Fuchs actually are lighter.

I agree. Prior discussion on rennlist:

Thanks, looked on their site before, but didn't see these. However, at these prices, think I'll continue to look for someone to swap my black centerlocks for silver.

I have a set of Carrera S2 wheels off of my '09 C4S for sale if you are interested. $2k with shipping. Great condition. One wheel has a small curb rash that is barely noticeable. Save $4k with these!!!
